I bought two 3TB HDDs a while back, but because I was stupid and not paying attention, they were SAS instead of SATA.
Seagate
Constellation ES.2
ST33000650SS
So last spring I bought a PCI card, Adaptec rohs asr 5405z 512mb. It came with a battery. I also bought the cables I will need.
This is all new to me. I plugged the card in and it booted to the card, and I had no idea what to do there. I pulled the card out and forgot about it over the summer. But my 2TB SATA storage drive is filling up, so I want to use these two 3TB drives.
What do I do inside this RAID bios? I just want to use these SAS drives for extra storage. Will I be able to get this set up where it boots into Windows and I can see the SAS drives the same way I see my others?
Any advice?
Thanks
